President Barack Obama and French leader Nicholas Sarkosy should get a short-term boost from the Libyan rebels taking over Tripoli.What kind of government emerges from the Bengazi tribes will determine if there is a long term victory of Western interests.

The United States needs to prioritize and figure out its essential interests to avoid being spread too thin globally. Kudos to US Special Forces on the ground in Libya. Justice for Pan Am 103 and Syracuse University may finally arrive.
